Go for Forte, you wont regret it. I personally had a very bad history with Korean care, I had Kia Sephia and Hyundai Atos, both car are super lousy (at least for me) - underpowered, FC high like sky, etc. Then i switch to sushi car.. and i bought Myvi (considering its passo from japan where P2 rebrand and change so minor stuff to it). Just last year when i decide to change car, i was looking at City and used lancer GT, both is around 90k range.. when my colleague told me.. how about KIA FORTE? My 1st reaction was, no la.. i scared of KIA edi.. bad track record.. but then when i do my R&D and test drives the car.. my perspective change..I immediate paid the deposit. Timeframe to get the car from my booking date was around 1 month.. during that one month.. a lot ppl tell me that i made a wrong decision by choosing "cold" car and KIA is bad.. bla bla bla.. i told them that its diff now.. no one listen.. then when i got my car on 18 Feb until now.. everyone  says i made the right choice and personal experienced tell me If the 1.6SX is gonna stays at 81800.. City and Vios gonna go down the drain.

By cybermaster:
But i do not think i will leave Toyota because of of these reasons:

1) build quality
2) low maintenance
3) high resale value
4) good after sales service

I think as a owner of same year Vios, I am qualified to comment:
1) build quality - not true, mine wear & tear were much faster than my another 12 years sentra.
2) low maintenance - not ture ! Outside service with better advice and quality and cheaper
3) high resale value - no comment, market driven.
4) good after sales service - not ture, they always say no time, and everytime service I must take leave, geram ;(

my comment:
1. handling - bad when try cornering then you will know, my old sentra is much better
2. interior space is a joke, wify complaint like hell.
3. cost cutting too much by Toyoda.

When 1st I saw Forte and have a seat inside, then I think who ever get vios/dugung is merely T-brand.
How can B seg car compare to C-seg car ???
Vios is a 21th century joke when compare to forte at same or higher price!!!!

of coz la outside cheaper haiz....everywhere everybrand if service outside is of coz cheaper but the quality of service? doubtful
what cybermaster meant i believe is cheaper when comparing service cost in official service centre of the various car brands
